The “Iseji” route of the Kumano Kodo is a historic pilgrimage road running from Ise Jingu Shrine in Mie Prefecture to the Kumano Sanzan in Wakayama, famously said as “Seven times to Ise, three times to Kumano.” A characteristic of this route is that you can enjoy open views while walking along the beautiful coastline, not just crossing mountains. Especially, the exquisite cobblestones of “Magose Pass” and the panoramic views overlooking the sea are highly rated by international travelers. Footprints of travelers who overcame numerous difficulties to deepen their faith still remain, and you can feel the unique atmosphere where Japanese nature worship, Buddhism, and Shinto merge. It is an ideal route for active travelers wanting to enjoy the sea, mountains, and the beauty of historical cobblestones simultaneously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
